Nkroful is the village, near Axim in the Western Region (Ghana) of Ghana, where Kwame Nkrumah, founder and first president of independent Ghana, was born September 21, 1909 and reared, and where he was buried after his death in 1972 -- temporarily, it turned out, because his body was later moved to a grander mausoleum in Accra. Nkroful still has the original Nkrumah Mausoleum and monument, which continues to attract visitors. It is inland 5 kilometers from the coastal highway, from the Essiama village junction turnoff. The local language spoken in Nkroful is Nzema but Fante and English are also spoken.
